I think the problem is that you can't jump into a group of 10 mobs solo spamming Blizzard II anymore and expect to survive, let alone get a gold medal like you could pre-2.1, and some people just can't handle that and declare FATEs to be "impossible" now.
I enjoy FATEs now, I actually have to play my role in them. Whether as tank, healer or pewpew. I activelly avoided FATE parties before because they were mind-numbingly pathetically easy. Only ones I liked pre 2.1 where the zone boss NM FATEs. Albeit I cant do them and only them ^^

But I dont have to, Some Leves, dailies, roulette, helping FC members with dungeons, and some FATEs. Or joining CT runs with fc for those who havnt got their item yet.
